Abstract
The necessity of bilateral bypass in adult moyamoya disease (MMD) remains unclear despite its recommendation for pediatric and hemorrhagic cases. We aimed to investigate the natural course of hemodynamically stable unoperated hemispheres after bypass surgery for symptomatic and hemodynamically unstable hemispheres in adult patients with ischemic MMD. Among 288 patients, the mean age at the first operation of the unstable hemispheres was 40.8 ± 12.2 years. The mean follow-up period was 62.9 ± 46.5 months. 45 patients (15.6%) experienced stroke events in the unoperated hemisphere, consisting of hemorrhagic stroke in 8 (2.8%) and ischemic stroke in 37 (12.8%), including progressive transient ischemic attack in 25 (8.7%) and infarction in 12 (4.2%). Among them, 39 patients (13.5%) underwent bypass surgery. The annual risk of total stroke is 3.0%/patient-year, with 2.5% for ischemic stroke and 0.5% for hemorrhagic stroke. The 5- and 10-year cumulative risks of ischemic stroke were 13.4% and 18.3%, respectively, and those of hemorrhagic stroke were each 3.2%. The natural course of hemodynamically stable hemispheres contralateral to the operated ones appeared fairly good. Additional bypass surgery on the unoperated hemispheres should be considered for symptomatic and hemodynamically unstable hemispheres in adult patients with ischemic MMD during the follow-up.

Abstract
Moyamoya disease is a progressive cerebrovascular disorder for which there is no cure. It is characterized by narrowing of and occlusions in the blood vessels that supply the brain, which causes a fine vascular network to develop to serve as collateral pathways. Moyamoya disease can lead to a reduction of blood flow to the brain and increase the risk of stroke. Patients with moyamoya disease may present with ischemic or hemorrhagic complications. Treatment options may involve medical management or surgical revascularization (indirect, direct, or a combined approach). The encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis procedure is a form of indirect revascularization in which a portion of the superficial temporal artery is moved from the scalp to the brain surface. Regardless of the approach, the goal of revascularization is to improve blood flow to the affected area to prevent additional infarcts; the encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis procedure is a viable option to help prevent additional neurologic decline.

Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass for Moyamoya Disease: The Influence of Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities on Outcomes - A National Inpatient Sample Analysis. World Neurosurg 2024; 182:e624-e634. [PMID: 38061545 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass is an established therapeutic option for Moyamoya disease (MMD). However, little is known about the effects of racial and ethnic disparities on outcomes. This study assessed trends in EC-IC bypass outcomes among MMD patients stratified by race and ethnicity. METHODS Utilizing the US National Inpatient Sample, we identified MMD patients undergoing EC-IC bypass between 2002 and 2020. Demographic and hospital-level data were collected. Multivariable analysis was conducted to identify independent factors associated with outcomes. Trend analysis was performed using piecewise joinpoint regression. RESULTS Out of 14,062 patients with MMD, 1771 underwent EC-IC bypass. Of these, 60.59% were White, 17.56% were Black, 12.36% were Asians, 8.47% were Hispanic, and 1.02% were Native Americans. Nonhome discharge was noted in 21.7% of cases, with a 6.7% death and 3.8% postoperative neurologic complications rates. EC-IC bypass was more commonly performed in Native Americans (23.38%) and Asians (17.76%). Hispanics had the longest mean length of stay (8.4 days) and lower odds of nonhome discharge compared to Whites (odds ratio: 0.64; 95% confidence interval: 0.40-1.03; P = 0.04). Patients with Medicaid, private insurance, self-payers, and insurance paid by other governments had lower odds of nonhome discharge than those with Medicare. CONCLUSION This study highlights racial and socioeconomic disparities in EC-IC bypass for patients with MMD. Despite these disparities, we did not find any significant difference in the quality of care. Addressing these disparities is essential for optimizing MMD outcomes.
